Detailed analysis of the Dacia Sandero Stepway TCe 90 · 90 CV (2012-2015)
General description
The Dacia Sandero Stepway TCe 90 burst onto the market as a statement of intent: adventure and crossover style didn't have to be expensive. This car is not just a means of transport; it's the promise of freedom and versatility wrapped in an honest and accessible package, a faithful companion for those who value experience over luxury.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the small 90 hp turbo engine feels surprisingly energetic and willing, moving the car with unexpected agility thanks to its low weight. It doesn't aim for speed records but rather offers a lively and efficient response in daily life. The raised, soft-tuned suspension absorbs bumps with ease, conveying a sense of robustness and comfort, although in corners, a body roll is noticeable, reminding us of its calm and family-oriented nature.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetics are its main calling card. With higher ground clearance, plastic body protections, and roof bars, the Stepway projects a robust and adventurous image that is love at first sight. Inside, functionality reigns over artifice. The plastics are hard and durable, designed to withstand the test of time and demanding use. The space is generous for its segment, and its 320-liter trunk is a perfect ally for getaways.
Technology and features
The onboard technology is just what's necessary, focused on simplicity and ease of use. Without complex assistance systems, it offers the essentials for a comfortable and safe journey. Its greatest technological advance lies under the hood, with a TCe engine that represented a modern bet on 'downsizing' to achieve low consumption, with an official figure of 5.4 liters per 100 km, an admirable figure for the time.
Competition
At the time, the Sandero Stepway was in a league of its own due to its price, but by concept, it faced emerging urban SUVs like the Renault Captur or the Peugeot 2008, although these offered more technology and refinement at a higher cost. Its real battlefield was among traditional utility cars, where its space and rugged aesthetics made it a unique alternative.
Conclusion
The Dacia Sandero Stepway TCe 90 is the smart purchase of the heart. A car that doesn't pretend to be what it's not, offering brutal honesty and exceptional versatility. It's the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable, spacious vehicle with an adventurous spirit without sacrificing their budget. More than a car, it's a tool for living experiences, proving that happiness doesn't always lie in the most expensive things.
